Senior AI-Native Architect

The future of software engineering is AI-native. Our team works to shape that future through pioneering research, practical engineering methods, and close collaboration with government, industry, and academia.
​

At the AI-Native Software Engineering Directorate, we focus on how today's engineering teams can quickly exploit emerging technologies and harness AI capabilities to create and evolve software quickly without losing fundamental software qualities.

To address this new world, we :

• study and guide industry and government teams’ use of AI in software engineering
• distill best practices and lessons from experiments and experience to shape AI-native software engineering
• pilot and transition improvements with organizations and measure their success
• create novel agents and agentic workflows to support software engineering
• apply AI to accelerate architecture-scale modernization
• help organizations establish AI-native software engineering practices
• guide organizations in evolving their software with architecture and AI-native approaches

Our overarching goal is to create new workflows and tools that enable AI-paced delivery of software without loss of quality. We're seeking candidates with a demonstrated track record who are motivated to shape AI-native software engineering.

AI-Native Architect

As an AI-Native Architect, you will focus on helping organizations solve architecture-scale challenges with the assistance of AI. Common challenges include modernizing legacy systems, rearchitecting systems to enable insertion of new technologies, and creating new architectures and reference architectures across different domains. New challenges include creation and evolution of agentic workflows, both for business processes and software engineering activities. You will help advance our AI-Native Software Engineering strategy by solving challenges such as:

• assessing customer system challenges and recommending technical solutions
• reviewing existing systems against today's challenges and designing modernization strategies
• creating novel architectures and reference architectures to address customer challenges
• coaching engineering teams in achieving architecture-scale changes
• architecting and prototyping systems and agentic workflows
• identifying opportunities to apply AI to diverse architecture challenges
• sharing experiences, solutions, and practice improvements with the technical community through publications and presentations

You will have the opportunity to work with world class software engineers, researchers, and data scientists working on national and global scale problems.
